Front End Engineer (React Native), Devices Design Group
Amazon
Software Engineering, Design
Seattle, WA, USA
Posted on Oct 18, 2024
DESCRIPTION
Amazon’s Devices and Services Design Group (DDG) imagines the future of software and hardware experiences, powered by Alexa. Join the team behind Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, Fire Tablets, and the growing family of Echo devices. We’re just getting started, and we’d love to have you join us to bring innovative experiences to millions of customers.
As a member of the Design Engineering team, you’ll support the design studio with your deep technical knowledge and experience working on world-class consumer software experiences. You’ll help your peers unlock technically challenging scenarios and mature the design studio’s ability to deliver design at scale, across a breadth of device categories.
In this role, you'll leverage your experience as a Front End Engineer to solve difficult technical problems for cross platform applications (FireOS, Android, iOS). This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of native app development, debugging tools, and UI tooling. Your work will often be mobile device (Android and iOS) focused but you will work across the software stack as needed. If you have a passion for on-device software and creating interactive visual experiences, this is an ideal position for you. React Native experience is high preferred. You will own full stack development of Android mobile application, with exposure/cross-over to iOS, including cross-development technologies (React Native, etc.)
As an experienced Front End Engineer, you will design, build and operate Web services and tooling to advance design methodology and delivery. You’ll interface with teams across a range of product lines and disciplines. Surrounded by world-class talent, and building on a pure AWS infrastructure, you will translate user requirements, drive an evolving architecture, help define our roadmap, and individually contribute code.
This role requires ownership, autonomy, and an ability to deliver results, often within the ambiguity of building a v1 product. You will need to work efficiently to build the right things with limited guidance, and your experience will raise the bar to create an amazing experience for our customers.
